Thank you all!!!! My surgery went we so far woke up in pain but thats all under control it comes and goes. I was very nauseous last night not today. I am burping away' date=' but they want me to pass gas, and it is not happening and they refuse to let me take my Gas X. Also any little thing i put in my mouth makes it cramp!![/quote']

They kept bringing me ice Water after surgery. The cold definitely made my stomach not happy. Try room temperature stuff or warm stuff.

I'm glad it went well!!

Hello, my surgery was 5/15/13. Reported at 9:30 for surgery but didn't get in until about 2:30. The doctor thought with the revision it should not take more than 3 hrs but it went 6 hours because the lapband had a lot of scar tissue and was cutting off the hole food went through so I guess it wasn't me that failed the lapband. My husband was a wreck as the staff stopped keeping him informed. The first morning my stomach didn't hurt at all then whatever the surgeon put in it to numb it wore off and none of the pain medicines worked for me. I could not bring myself to eat for the first two days so they took me off my drip line to kind of force me to drink. My husband wants me to drink even when I'm sleeping because he doesn't want the drip line back in and he is ready to go home. I have not bounced back so well after this surgery so even though I knew the band was coming out.....not so sure about the sleeve right now but what is done is done and I have to figure out how to make it work. Saw another lady here my age or a little older who just had the sleeve-she seemed to be doing well.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
